CAIRO — The streets of the West Bank erupted in jubilant celebration following a U.N. General Assembly vote Thursday granting Palestine non-member state status by an overwhelming majority.

"We Palestinians are very happy. This vote means that we have a place under the sun," said Badia Dweik a community organizer from Hebron. "We are very thankful to all the countries who supported this vote — but we will also not forgot those who did not."
